I have the customary mappings for :help,

     nmap <F1> :exec "help " . expand("<cword>")<CR>
     nmap <S-F1> :exec "help " . expand("<cWORD>")<CR>

and have been trying to develop similar do the <Tab> option on the cursor
word, something like

     nmap \\ yiw:h ^R"^[

But ^[ means Escape, not Tab,
and Escape, when used in a mapping, works like Enter (usually):
    :h c_Esc

So you want <Tab> (right?) which looks more like ^I, but anyway in a mapping you 
can't use <Tab>,
instead you need to use the key defined with
    :h 'wildcharm
(:set wcm=<C-_>  works for me).

but to no avail.  Although the mapping does not terminate with a <CR>, vim
treats the ^[ as if it were <CR> rather than <Tab> and goes straight to the
specific help for the cursor-word.

Is it possible to have vim act on the <Tab> as it does in the command line?

Your mapping becomes (with above 'wcm' setting):
    :nnoremap \\ yiw:h <C-R>"<C-_>

or
    :nnoremap \\ :<C-U>h <C-R><C-W><C-_>

or (I think I'd use)
    :nnoremap <Leader><Tab> :<C-U>h <C-R><C-W><C-_>
